Hi I need to replicate our live AD in terms of user/group
and OU objects in a test lab. I've tried using LDIFDE but
hot a problem already know with Windows 2000 SP2. Has
anyone got any guidance for me with alternatives. The CSV
tool wasn't very sucessful either.

Thanks!!!! Saw this before and didn't think to link it to my desire to do
the same thing Cra9g wants to do...
 
Thanks for the replies, I've seen similiar articles for
restoring the system state to different hardware but
these tend to be a bit "dirty". For the testing we need
to do (things like emulate disater recovery) we really
need a clean environment, ie no events logged that can't
be explained but probable caused by the different
hardware. Also we have 20 DC's in live, test will only
have 7, there would be a lot of metadata cleanup needed
from a restore. What I'm looking for is a way of creating
an IMPORT text file from live that I can import into
test. A guide I've found that uses VBS is listed at
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/planning/act
ivedirectory/bulksteps.asp but this doesn't show the
import side. Any more suggestions?
